AusGeoRef is a bibliographic geoscience database that covers the
Australian literature since 1840. In 2003, the American Geological Institute
and Geoscience Australia began a cooperative arrangement
to improve the coverage of Australian publications in GeoRef and makes this database
available by subscription to organizations and companies.
 AGI and Geoscience Australia are pleased to announce that AusGeoRef has been expanded
to include references drawn from the AESIS database, Australia's Geoscience, Minerals
and Petroleum Database. The AESIS database was a complete index to all available
Australian information written by an Australian or about Australia or Papua New Guinea
covering the period from 1851 through 2001.
AusGeoRef now includes more than 170,000 bibliographic references on Australia - with
more than 74,000 new references incorporated from AESIS. The references are drawn
from the journal literature, meeting proceedings and abstracts,
books, reports and maps. The database is updated on a weekly basis.
References contain complete bibliographic information and URLs for
documents published on the web. Thorough indexing, based on the controlled
vocabulary found in the GeoRef Thesaurus, is included. Specific geographic
locations are listed as place names, and, for principal locations, latitude
and longitude are provided.
